Story
Beau is a beautiful male cat who loves to laze around in a calm atmosphere. He will let you know when he wants to be loved on with head butts. Otherwise, you can find him in the window, on the bed, or lying on the floor in the dining room. He does love to eat and will be the first to his bowl when fed. He eats twice daily now. Nighttime is his playtime and time to explore. Currently he lives with a dog and another cat. At night he typically sleeps in the “Big Bed” with Mom.

Story
Ernie is a handsome 1-year-old neutered male with a gentle heart and a playful, curious spirit. I adopted him when he was a kitten, and he's grown into a loving companion who enjoys being close to his people. When meeting someone new, Ernie may take a little time to warm up, but a few treats, a favorite toy, and a little patience quickly earn his trust. Once he's comfortable, his personality shines. He's affectionate, loves exploring every corner of the house, and delightfully "chats" with you throughout the day. He enjoys interactive play, lounging nearby, and being part of whatever you're doing. Ernie has been raised around both dogs and another cat, is fully litter box trained, and is healthy with no known medical concerns. He would be happiest in a loving indoor home where he can continue to build confidence and receive plenty of attention. He could do well as an only cat or with another friendly, respectful pet after a gradual introduction.

Story
Bonded Sibling Cats Looking for Their Forever Home 🤍 Rudy (cream/white with blue eyes) 🩶 Alice (gray and white tuxedo) (Both spayed and neutered) They are siblings, we’ve raised them together since they were tiny kittens, they are almost 1.5 years old, and they are very bonded. They sleep together, groom each other, and are always close by, so they must be adopted together. This decision has not been made lightly. Unfortunately, they do not get along with our two older resident cats. We truly believe Rudy and Alice would thrive in a home where they are the only cats, or with someone experienced in slow introductions. They are sweet, playful, affectionate, litter box trained, and have so much love to give in the right environment. They will come with everything they need, including: * Two litter boxes * Cat treats * Their favorite belongings to help them adjust

Story
We are looking for a loving, patient home for our young cat. She came into our lives unexpectedly about a year ago and has a big personality. She's curious, playful, and always wants to know what you're doing—especially if food is involved! She has a weakness for butter and loves to inspect groceries. Despite our best efforts, we've been unable to resolve some behavioral issues. She has continued to mark around the house, even with three clean litter boxes, and she can become overstimulated during petting, occasionally swatting or biting. This has been an incredibly difficult decision because we care about her and want what's best for her. We believe she would do best with someone experienced with cats who can provide the patience and understanding she needs. Our only goal is to find her a safe, loving home where she can thrive.
